Lots of WD40 & a big breaker bar

 

I'm not doing it :lol: my car is an auto so it's a proper pain. If it was a manual easy. Your right cookbot as said in the thread the newer VQs don't even have this pulley. As you guys are in the supercharged crew or was did you take this pulley off? I know the stillen ones uses this one but I'm sure all others don't use it at all.

Can you see what I have done?

 

I've taken off the top idler pulley bracket. Cut one corner off so the power steering bracket can still fit (like a spacer) and now I can use a smaller belt. The same size as a revup! The pulley does nothing and is prone to fail. There is no disadvantage of removing it. Your only saving 0.5kg but its hard to turn plus I've fitted my AMS crank and alt pulley so hopefully they will make a slight difference. :thumbs:
